Phase times are computed with astronomy-engine and shown in UTC, so a Moon near midnight may fall on the neighbouring day in your timezone. Full-Moon names are the traditional Northern-Hemisphere almanac names, by month. The sign is where the Moon sits at the exact phase. For today's Moon at a glance, see Current Sky.
